I came across this story that reveals the effects of "parental alienation" whereby a parent kidnaps a child emotionally..this story is as bad as it gets, but the truth is that we don't know the emotional effects until it is too late.....this has to stop...it is crippling the minds of children..they need both parents! Unless there is abuse....to listen to the parental alienation piece it comes about a minute into the show
Follow this link to the CBC story of a Kidnapped Mind

Parent Alienation Syndrome - Pamela Richardson
Divorces are often messy ... and Pamela Richardson's was no exception. After she and her husband split, her son Dashiell Hart grew distant from her -- alienated. She struggled to maintain contact with him, but in the end he took his own life.
Pamela Richardson wrote about her experience in a book called A Kidnapped Mind: A Mother's Heartbreaking Story of Parental Alienation Syndrome. Many mental health professionals speak of Parental Alienation Syndrome - - a scenario in which one parent takes steps to alienate children from the other parent... but it is not officially recognized in the so-called bible of the psychiatric profession -- the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders or DSM. That could change.
The American Psychiatric Association is considering including Parental Alienation Syndrome in the updated edition of the manual, the DSM-5. Pamela Richardson was in Vancouver to tell us about her experience.
Parent Alienation Syndrome - Rachel Klein
As we mentioned... The American Psychiatric Association is considering the addition of Parental Alienation Syndrome in its updated edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders -- the DSM 5. But the issue is controversial.
Doctor Rachel Klein is a member of the DSM-5 Child and Adolescent Working Group. She's also the Fascitelli Family Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the NYU School of Medicine and the Director of the Anita Saltz Institute for Anxiety and Mood Disorders.
